We are planning a few events for Teen Read Week 2011. We will be running a passive program we are calling "Judge a Book by it's Cover" inspired by TRW photo contest. Teens will determine the titles of books based on a strategically cropped picture of the cover, prizes will be given. Our Teen Book Club will be discussing Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan and eating Greek food. And last but not least, we will be hosting a Comic Workshop with the writer and illustrator of Moses and Bean, an internet based comic.

We have had wonderful programs for teens in the past, but due to scheduling conflicts we just couldn't get them to fall during Teen Read Week. This year is different. A local group in the Twin Cities offers photography classes. They are a non-profit organization and offer these classes free to kids. We asked them to put together a program for teens teaching them about photography using their Iphone, Ipod, Smart Phone, etc. The course will provide general photography principles and information and hints for the specific mobile devices. The kids will take photos during the course, and will learn the best way to edit them on their device, upload them to computers and edit them on the pc if needed. We are so excited to offer this program to our local teens!! Definitely, they will be picturing a great Teen Read Week.

BTW Magnet HS TRW Project: B.I.T.E.
The BTW library media specialist and library media assistants will be going on a walking literacy field trip to the Alabama State House followed by a trolley ride and stopping for lunch @Cool Beans on Friday, October 17th. We plan to depart BTW around 8:30 and arrive at the State House before nine. We have an appointment with Sen. Larry Dixon, an avid reader and strong supporter of education, @ 9:00 o'clock. We also plan to pop in Sen. Quinton Ross and Rep. John Knight's offices, legislators who have supported our program (Sen. Ross is a former BTW principal.) Then we will catch the trolley at the corner of the Little White House of the Confederacy stopping for lunch @ Cool Beans, a restaurant in the downtown Montgomery area. As we progress along our trip, we will release some of the best young adult books of the last decade at various places for anyone to "read for the fun of it!" We will track the books via a free literacy site BookCrossing.com.

Here at Franklin Public Library in Franklin, Wisconsin we are celebrating Teen Read Week with a Graffiti It! program on Tuesday, the 18th, where the kids will have a chance to make graffiti murals on old sheets to hang in the Teen Area of the library. On Thursday, the 20th, we are having a program where the teens will be learning how to use the website Storybird, where you write your own story using pictures as inspiration. Finally on Friday, the 21st, we are having an Anime After-Hours Party, where the teens will watch anime movies and have snacks.

Meet the Mill City Mayhem, our local roller derby team that focuses on empowering women while giving back to the community. Meet Madame Debauchery, learn the language of roller derby, and find out how to get involved with the fastest growing sport in America! Topics covered will include basic skills needed, communication, gear and demo how derby works!

The 1st 10 attendees receive:
Titan, Lisa. True Tales of Roller Derby: Doppelganger at the Hangar. Oni Press, 2009.
Roller derby and comics go together like chocolate chip cookies and milk, like earbuds and I-Pods, like lol & omg, like...like...well you get the idea. Last year the Rose City Rollers, Portland's very own roller derby league, wrote, self-published, and distributed their very own comic book - "True Tales of Roller Derby". ! Artist: Dennis Culver

I’m a reasonably tech-savvy librarian, but I can NOT figure out how to add my event to the Google Map.
What’s really frustrating is that I did it last year.
I have looked and looked and cannot find any Help, so appeal to you all,

HELP!!

How can I add my event to the TRW Google Map?

I sign in, but I can't add a new event/place marker, just edit the existing ones.
